re: What are your thoughts on NYC mayor de blasio's pre-k initiative?Posted by ironsides on 12/29/13 at 7:56 am to dewster

De Blasio doesn't know math. I lived in manhattan with two kids up until October 1 of this year. The least expensive pre-k program my wife and I could find was $18k a year and the teachers didn't make much: it was all in real estate and insurance. I just don't see how he can do it without putting the city in bad financial condition.

Oh no, I would never suggest anything like that. I believe in Tabula Rasa when a child is born. If the mom has an IQ of 45 and the dad has an IQ of 52 there is a chance that the child will have an IQ of 140. And if it were not for poor parenting skills of the retarded parents, their genius child could become a brain surgeon.
